Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 585: Pit

At the wizarding card party at the end of November, Lee Jordan finally took over the task of preparing the wizarding card competition for the second half of the semester from Albert. A successful race is a breeze.

It's just that the number of contestants this year was a bit unsatisfactory. Even if Albert took out an "expensive" amulet as a prize for the championship, he only managed to gather thirty-two contestants, which made Lee Jordan depressed for a while. For a while, he wondered if it was because he was not as attractive as Albert that no girl had signed up for this wizarding card competition.

He couldn't help but complain to Albert: "Is it my bad luck, or my face is too dark to scare the girls away."

Although Lee Jordan knew it wasn't his fault, he still felt that he had screwed up what Albert had told him when he officially took over.

Albert didn't care at all, and comforted the other party casually.

It's December, Hogwarts Castle is covered in snow and snow, and the owls who deliver the letters have lost weight, but there are always exceptions, and Shera has gained a lot of weight.

Daisy and Herb wrote to him to tell him that their Christmas holiday schedule had changed and they would go to France first, where they would stay for two days, and then leave for Italy after his wedding.

Albert suspected that Mog had told his parents about it. With the enlightened level of Daisy and Herb, it was not difficult for them to make such a choice.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mog tampered with the memories of the two. To be honest, Albert really can't compliment the integrity of the wizard.

That afternoon, on Albert's way to the library, Hermione hurried over to bring him good news: Harry had failed to make a deal with Mundungus Fletcher after all.

Hermione was displeased with the thief, Mr. Mundungus, who was always trying to trick them, and she would rather risk dealing with Snape.

Failed deals can only be regarded as following the trend of history. The world is so wonderful sometimes, but it hurts Harry and Ron, and it takes a lot of risk to mess up in Potions class.

It is said that the thief, Mr. Mundungus, was in a bit of trouble a few days before the transaction, when he broke into an empty door to steal something, and was hated for it. Even if there is no evidence, it doesn't matter. For those old wizards with Galleons and connections, it is too easy to take revenge on the thieves who are wandering in the gray area.

As a result, Mundungus was targeted by an employee of the Ministry of Magic. The other party detained Mundungus' suitcase on the grounds of operating without a license, and all the goods inside were naturally finished.

Next, the process of gathering evidence is simple.

Ministry of Magic employees fined Mundungus a large sum of Galleons for the loss of certain prohibited items, and are planning to send the man to Azkaban for a few days.

Mundungus Fletcher was naturally unwilling to be captured. He originally wanted to use the Confusion Charm on him when the Ministry of Magic employee was not paying attention. He wanted to fool him, but the spell actually bounced back.

So, the Mr. thief was charged with assaulting a Ministry employee, fined two hundred Galleons, and six months in Azkaban's jail.

What a delight.

That's how Mundungus Fletcher's deal with Hermione (Harry) fell through, and it even landed him on the second page of the Daily Prophet.

I wonder how Mundungus would feel if he knew he was planted on Albert's amulet.

However, he also used his galleons to make Albert's amulet fame, and because of this, the wizards who go out to execute the Ministry of Magic want to purchase similar amulets to defend against some unexpected sneak attacks.

Mr. Toller made a lot of money because of this, and plans to continue to buy from Albert, and even has a long-term desire to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, but unfortunately he did not get his wish.

The field of Defense Against the Dark Arts is a cash cow left by Albert for himself. How can he be generous enough to share it with others?

Even if you want to win, you will eat meat and others will eat soup.

In the beginning, it was fine if Kenneth Toler drilled the loophole. The other party was able to sell the amulet at a high price through his connections. It was someone else's ability, and he wouldn't care.

The effects of most amulets do not last very long.

At the latest one year, the amulet will be completely invalid, and it will not have an impact on Albert's future plan to sell the amulet, and the amulet will continue to be upgraded and improved.

"You don't know that anyone working in the Ministry of Magic can't pronounce a decent Iron Armor Charm. Although Aurors are trained to be better in this regard, they can't guard against sneak attacks anytime, anywhere." Ken Neith Toler spittled, excitedly introducing Albert to the prospect of the amulet.

In their eyes, it's a cash cow!

Of course, they need a talisman made by Albert himself, and the Ministry of Magic knows that's the only thing to do.

Kenneth Toler is also quite sincere, willing to give half of the profits to Albert.

"Sorry, although the deal you're talking about is really tempting, but... it's a waste of time to make those amulets, and, you know, I've been so busy in school that I don't have any spare time to waste at all. things."

Albert yawned lazily ~IndoMTL.com~ politely declined.

It is impossible for Kenneth Toller to continue earning Galleons through him.

After all, Albert is planning to open a Defence Against the Dark Arts store, so he is not in a hurry to make this money. After Voldemort returns, as long as he controls properly, the second wizarding war will end, and Albert will be confident Let the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic come to him to buy, and then you are afraid that you will not be able to make money?

Of course, Kenneth Toler shut up when Albert was generous enough to say that he could sell the technology.

If you don't have a skill to match, what's made is something else entirely. After all, Kenneth had already suffered a loss, and the Buffy Brain Refresher showed his face.

Kenneth Toller dryly rejects this "kindness" and has no reason to blame Albert any more.

This is completely in Albert's expectation, some things seem simple, but it is really not the same thing without a basic foundation.

Though business blows up, Hogwarts business is still going, and students will still come to him to buy cheap amulets.

Until one day, Albert learned from Fred and George that Kenneth had been beaten.

In George's words, Kenneth was selling fakes that were discovered by others.

Since the end of the partnership, Kenneth has obtained a batch of similar-looking amulets from nowhere and sold them to other Muggle wizards, only to be found to be fakes.

A talisman is two Galleons. Naturally, the other party couldn't take this breath. He contacted several students who also bought fake goods, pulled Kenneth into the toilet and beat him, and asked him to return the goods by the way.
